Transceiver and Cabling Options

The Cisco Nexus 3172 switches support a wide variety of 1, 10, and 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity options.

1 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity is achieved in the first 48 ports, and 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity is

achieved using QSFP+ transceivers in the last 6 ports.

QSFP+ technology allows a smooth transition from 10 to 40 Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure in the data center.

The Cisco Nexus 3172 switches support connectivity over copper and fiber cables, providing excellent physical-

layer flexibility. For low-cost cabling, copper-based 40-Gbps Twinax cables can be used, and for longer cable

reaches, short-reach optical transceivers are excellent.

Connectivity can be established from the QSFP ports to an upstream 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch using a splitter

cable that has a QSFP transceiver on one end and four SFP+ transceivers on the other end. Similar capability can

be achieved using optical transceivers by procuring third-party fiber splitters.

Table 1 lists the QSFP transceiver types supported.
